Answered Question - Disney Parks Moms Panel

Ok, so how possible (or impossible) is it to get a table at Be Our Guest for lunch? We are looking to try and get it on Jan 7th for 3 adults. I know dinner reservations are really hard to get, but do you have any suggestions on getting in for lunch???

Hi, Samantha!

Be Our Guest restaurant inside the Beast's Castle located in the New Fantasyland section of Magic Kingdom Park is definitely a highly sought-after dining location! Enjoying a meal here is a special experience where you'll feel as if you've been magically transported into a "tale as old as time," as the restaurant is uniquely themed to the story of Disney's Beauty and the Beast film.

Reservations are accepted for dinner at Be Our Guest, but lunch is a quick-service meal (no reservations necessary) where guests place their orders on touch-screen kiosks before choosing a table in one of three wonderfully themed dining rooms. Befitting the setting, the menu features French-inspired cuisine and the Castle servers deliver your meal to you served on china plates. My family has dined at Be Our Guest on several occasions for both lunch and dinner; our favorite room is the bright and cheery Rose Room (Belle's Library) with lovely paintings on the walls and a beautiful life-sized rotating sculpture of Belle and the Beast dancing.

Be Our Guest is an expansive restaurant with a 500+ seating capacity, so it definitely is possible to get in for lunch. My recommendation is to arrive as early as 10:30 for lunch in order to hopefully have a shorter wait. Guests line up on the bridge leading to the Beast's Castle and the entrance to Be Our Guest. The Disney Imagineers have done an amazing job with Be Our Guest -- there are so many incredible details and surprises to discover!

I hope you will get to experience the magic of dining at Be Our Guest! Please don't hesitate to write back with any additional questions you may think of. It would be my pleasure to assist you further!
